Hoppers are our enthusiatic and reliable staff that are ready to go the extra mile for you. Hoppers “hop” around the town going from one place to another performing their assigned tasks. Hoppers are carefully selected and undergo a thorough background check.

Hoppers are volunteers who work at the Grace Hopper Celebration in exchange for free conference registration and a GHC gift. This is a great way to get involved and meet other GHC attendees. Hoppers are assigned multiple shifts for a total of 8 hours of volunteer time. Hoppers may have to miss a session or activity at the conference if they are assigned to work. Hoppers are responsible for their own travel expenses, including airfare and hotel. Do not apply to be a Hopper until you have secured funding for your travel expenses. Assignments include monitoring sessions, staffing registration, greeting attendees, selling shirts and posters, acting as a Communities Evangelist, etc. Shifts are available between September 28 – October 2. If you apply for a Hopper position, please do not register for the conference until you have been notified of your acceptance. If you are not accepted, you will still be able to register for the conference at the Super Early Bird rates. Please contact Rachel
